Give the definition of electric dipole moment using the equation of torque.

An electric dipole of moment $p$ is placed at the origin along the $x$-axis. The electric field at a point $P$,whose position vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,will make an angle $\phi$ with the $x$-axis. If $\tan \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \tan \theta$,where $\alpha$ is the angle between the electric field vector and the position vector,then the angle $\phi$ that the electric field makes with the $x$-axis is:
